Introducing Arccos AI Strategy Beta: The Future of Smart Golf Is Here

Now available in Beta for iOS users. Experience Tour-level course strategy powered by A.I.

Imagine stepping onto every tee box and knowing your game better than anyone. Someone who has seen every shot you have ever hit, studied every course, and can tell you the smartest play in any situation.

AI Strategy is Arccos’ most advanced course strategy feature ever. It is powered by over 1.3 billion shots and developed alongside Arccos Chief Data Strategist and European Ryder Cup Vice Captain, Edoardo Molinari. It is already trusted by more than 40 of the world’s best players, including Matt Fitzpatrick.

“It’s the same strategy that helped me win the U.S. Open,” said Matt Fitzpatrick.

Now we are bringing that same tour level strategy to iOS users.

What is AI Strategy?

AI Strategy delivers PGA TOUR-level strategy for every shot, on every course, every day, personalized to your game.

It analyzes your Arccos data, the course layout, hazards, tee boxes, weather, and pin positions to recommend:

• Your ideal club for each shot

• Your optimal target based on dispersion

• Your smartest overall strategy to lower your expected score

Each recommendation updates daily with new course and weather data, allowing you to make confident, data-informed decisions on every hole.

“It’s exactly what I’m doing for Fitzpatrick and other tour pros in the game in terms of course management and strategy,” said Edoardo Molinari. “Now, with AI Strategy, every golfer can access that same level of insight and preparation.”

As Sean Ogle recently shared in his Arccos review on YouTube, the power of Arccos lies in its ability to help golfers “finally see their game for what it is, not what they think it is.”

How to Access AI Strategy

AI Strategy is now available in Beta for iOS Arccos members. To see if you have access:

1. Update your Arccos app to the latest version and it should be available on the start round tab by default.
